You can identically duplicate this functionality across all (Cocoa) OS X apps.
Enter the following in Terminal:

defaults write -g NSRepeatCountBinding -string "^u"

Now, by default this conflicts with TextMate's binding for uppercase... I
don't know which will take priority. You can make the NSRepeatCountBinding
string something different, or you can change TextMate's setting in
Textmate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings.dict
